Posted Facilities
Switch off your phone in any facility where posted
notices require you to do so.

Potentially Explosive Atmospheres

Switch off your phone when in any area with a
potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even
death.

Users are advised to switch off the phone while at a
refuelling point (service station). Users are reminded of
the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution
areas), chemical plants or where blasting operations
are in progress.

Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are
often but not always clearly marked. They include
below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such
as propane or butane), areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust or metal
powders, and any other area where you would
normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.

Persons with pacemakers:
• Should always keep the phone more than 15 cm

(6 inches) from their pacemaker when the phone is
switched on

• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to

minimise potential interference

If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, switch off your phone immediately.

Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you
may wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.

Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult
the manufacturer of your device to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information. Switch off your phone in health care
facilities when any regulations posted in these areas
instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities
may be using equipment that could be sensitive to
external RF energy.

Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or
inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its
representative regarding your vehicle.

You should also consult the manufacturer of any
equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
